A note for the pros and intermediately skilled. Since this is a basic tutorial, I will be very detailed to help those in need of a step by step nature of explaination. It may be boring a bit for the ones in the know, so skim through the whole tutorial and pick out what you need yeah.

2. XZIMG Augmented Vision for Unity. Download from here
3. A marker image. Use this one here

5. A webcam or laptop with camera

Download and Unzip the XZIMG Augmented Vision SDK

Go to the download link provided in the prerequisite, login and download Augmented Vision 2.0.2 Free Version

The next thing you need to do is to extract or unzip the XZIMG Augmented Vision SDK. At the end of this step you should have a folder like so:

Open the sample scene

Inside the folder, go to Assets>Scenes> and double click on sample-AugmentedVision unity scene.

Unity will start and load the project. Your screen should look something like below.

Creating your own marker

In the Project window, Go to Assets > Resources. Then, Drag and Drop the marker image into the project window.

Right click the marker image, go to Create, and click XZIMG Natural Image Classifier
